Ingredients

  • 3 eggs, lightly beaten, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon tepid water
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • Hot sauce, to taste
  • Worcestershire sauce, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon washed, dried and chopped parsley leaves
  • 1 small bunch chives, minced
  • 1 tablespoon washed, dried and chopped tarragon leaves
  • Buttered toast slices
  • 6 -inch nonstick skillet

Method

  • In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, water, salt, a couple of dashes of hot sauce and a couple of dashes of Worcestershire sauce.
  • Whisk only enough to integrate the eggs.
  • You dont want to whip too much air into them or make them frothy.
  • Put the skillet over medium heat and add the butter.
  • Swirl the butter around as it melts so it coats the whole surface of the pan.
  • When the butter is melted (but not browned), lower the heat and pour in the egg mixture.
  • Use a fork to stir the eggs slightly, as if you were scrambling them.
  • Then, allow the eggs to cook, undisturbed for about 15 to 30 seconds.
  • Sprinkle the herbs over the eggs.
  • Lift the handle of the pan up tilting the pan away from you and towards the heat.
  • This tilting should cause the omelet to slide down in the pan a little.
  • Fold the edge closest to you towards the center.
  • Fold the other edge towards the center and tilt the pan over the center of a plate so it lands, seam side down.
  • Serve immediately with buttered toast slices.
